  • Mizzou Hub Postgame- Tigers fall in SEC Tournament
    Mar 15 2025
    Recap of Mizzou Hub Postgame Podcast – Tigers Fall in SEC Tournament Hosted by Joe Roderick & Matt Rocchio The episode focused on Missouri’s 95-81 loss to Florida in the SEC Tournament, analyzing the performance and implications for the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Key Takeaways: Early Deficit Hurt Mizzou: The Tigers started down 10-0, making it an uphill battle. Cold Shooting Night: Mizzou shot 25% from three, while Florida was red-hot at 62% overall and 40% from deep. Impact of Missing Mark Mitchell: Sitting him out affected Mizzou’s inside presence. Tamar Bates Struggled: He took 18 shots but scored only 16 points, making him inefficient. NCAA Tournament Seeding: Likely a 7-seed, maybe 6 or 8. Joe Lunardi had them as a 7-seed facing West Virginia in Cleveland. Hosts worried about a tough fan environment if placed in Cleveland. Mizzou might be sent to Seattle for the first weekend. Final Thoughts: Despite the loss, Mizzou is safely in the NCAA Tournament. Their upside remains high if they get hot shooting and have a healthy lineup.

  • Mizzou loses 91-83 to Kentucky on Senior Night
    Mar 8 2025
    Recap of Mizzou Hub Postgame Show – Tigers vs. Kentucky (Senior Night) Hosted by Chris Pelikan and Kareem RushThe Mizzou Hub Postgame Show broke down Missouri's 91-83 loss to Kentucky on Senior Night, marking their third straight defeat and fourth loss in five games as they head into the SEC Tournament. Key Takeaways from the Discussion:Concerns About the Team’s Form The Tigers have struggled recently, and heading into the SEC Tournament with a losing streak is far from ideal. Kareem Rush pointed out that teams have figured out how to neutralize Mizzou’s strengths, particularly by limiting steals and free-throw opportunities. Caleb Grill’s Role & Defensive Adjustments Kentucky face-guarded Caleb Grill, making it difficult for him to get open looks. The hosts suggested that Mizzou needs to adjust its offense to free up Grill or use him as a decoy. The Tigers also lacked a dominant one-on-one scorer who can create offense when needed. SEC Tournament Scenarios & Importance of Defense With the recent slump, Mizzou may have to play an extra game in the SEC Tournament, possibly facing Vanderbilt in Nashville. The Tigers' defense has been lacking—giving up 90+ points in multiple games—and needs to improve if they hope to make a deep tournament run. Senior Night Atmosphere & Player Reflections Reporter Kylee Hansen, on-site in Columbia, described the atmosphere as electric despite the loss. She highlighted the emotional sendoff for seniors like Caleb Grill and Tamar Bates and the strong bond between Grill and coach Dennis Gates. Optimism vs. Concern Moving Forward Fans expressed frustration in the comments, worrying about the Tigers’ downward trend. Kareem Rush remained optimistic, emphasizing that the team has shown the ability to compete with top teams and can turn things around with a strong SEC Tournament run. Dennis Gates acknowledged the struggles but believes there’s still potential for a deep postseason push. Betting & Performance Trends Mizzou failed to cover the spread (-3.5) but hit the over (171 points) with late free throws. Earlier in the season, the Tigers were 12-3 against the spread in SEC play but have struggled lately. Looking AheadThe Tigers will play in the SEC Tournament on Thursday, with their opponent to be determined. The team needs a strong performance to regain confidence and secure a favorable position for March Madness. Final Thoughts Chris Pelikan: While the season has been great overall, the recent struggles are concerning. Kareem Rush: Mizzou can bounce back with a few defensive adjustments and a strong mindset heading into the tournament. The show wrapped up with a toast to Mizzou basketball and the upcoming SEC Tournament, hoping for a deep postseason run. M-I-Z! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Mizzou falls to Oklahoma 96-84
    Mar 6 2025
    Here's a recap of the latest Mizzou Hub Postgame Show with Chris Pelikan and Kareem Rush, covering Missouri's 96-84 loss to Oklahoma: Game Overview The Tigers struggled defensively, allowing Oklahoma to score 96 points. Oklahoma, motivated by senior night and their NCAA tournament bubble status, played with high energy. Mizzou’s defense was sluggish early, allowing easy points in the paint. Freshman star for Oklahoma had a career-high 31 points. Foul trouble for Anthony Robinson hurt Missouri’s defensive presence. Concerns & Takeaways The Tigers have now lost two in a row, raising concerns about their readiness for the SEC Tournament. Defensive lapses were the main issue, as Mizzou thrives on forcing turnovers and transition play. The team looked far from its best, a contrast from its earlier Final Four-level potential. Unusual substitution patterns from Coach Dennis Gates were discussed, as he gave minutes to lesser-used players in a crucial game. The inconsistency from one game to another (previously holding Oklahoma to 58 points) was frustrating. Looking Ahead to Kentucky Mizzou needs a strong start and high energy at home on Senior Night. The focus should be on re-establishing their defensive identity. Players and coaches will likely have a tough week of practice with extra conditioning to address the defensive struggles. The Tigers still have a chance to close the season strong and build momentum for the SEC and NCAA tournaments. Final Thoughts Kareem Rush remains optimistic, believing Mizzou can bounce back against Kentucky and enter the postseason with confidence. Fans were encouraged to stay engaged and comment on their thoughts while also being reminded to support Rush’s bourbon brand, Educated Spirits.
